Modern Slavery 2022-23 - Flipbook - Page 4
THIS STATEMENT
This is Hindmarsh’s third modern slavery statement pursuant to the Modern
Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) and is for the reporting period of 1 July 2021 to 30
June 2022.
The last year has seen a number of encouraging developments in the fight
against modern slavery in Australia and globally, including the enactment
of the Modern Slavery Act (2018) (NSW) and the Commonwealth review
of the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth), which is due to be completed by 31
March 2023.
Notwithstanding these measures, sadly modern slavery appears to be
increasing, with the International Labour Organization estimating that the
number of people in slavery increased by 2.7 million between 2016 and
2021, with this growth having accelerated since the onset of COVID-19.

Hindmarsh remains firmly committed in the fight to eradicate modern
slavery worldwide. In this regard, we are pleased to set out in this our third
statement, the actions we have taken, the progress made and what we
intend to implement to address risks of modern slavery practices in our
organisation and supply chains.
This statement was approved by the Board of Hindmarsh Construction
Australia Pty Ltd and its subsidiary HCA Queensland Pty Ltd.
